More photos
Iran (i.e. dial-up internet) is coming up, so here are a few more additions to the Istanbul and Antioch pictures...
Even more interesting stories about meeting two Kurdish guys who are studying history and archaeology and are dying to go to Iran. But I will tell you about it along with the tale of my weird flight from Adana...

Bonjour Khodadad,
Thanks for all those photos about Istambul and Seleukia/Antioch. I appreciated very much.
May I ask you something else: some weeks ago, I saw the movie "The 300" and right now, at ARTE, we had "La Bataille de Marathon" plus a documentary on the same subject.
In "the 300" the Persian king, Darius, looked a bit like someone coming out of a New York Gaypride parade and the soldiers belonged to the monsters in the Lord of the Rings.
In this historic movie made in 1959, in Persians looked a big strange with their phrygian headgear. And in the documentary, they seemed to be orientals with turbans.
So please tell me: how did these people look like around 480 BC?
In case you don't know, do you have an idea where to look??
Cheers
Georg
